I love sharing with other teachers, its one of the top things that I love about teaching and especially why I love conferences – good ones, like OTA/Encyclomdia. Teachers have the opportunity to grow in their craft, to learn new things, get new ideas, have a-ha moments, and share extraordinary things that they do everyday with their students. I had the very good fortune to share some sessions last year with several of my most excellent #oklaed friends and am looking forward to doing so again this fall.

The problem is this – I have about 1.2 billion ideas bouncing around inside my mind and need some help with what things would have the largest, most positive impact on your classrooms. I know, I know, by October some of us are really set in our ways, new ideas are tough to work in. Some of you look for a new adventure every week, some once a month….I want to help be that spark that makes a difference somewhere down the line, so help me find some focus.

I have have done sessions on the following things and would gladly do them again (like shampoo, rinse and repeat if necessary):

How to set up a Flipclass classroom model

iPad in the classroom

iPad apps in the classroom for teacher and students

Twitter

Issues/struggles that could come up in a Flipclass model

Some of the ideas that I am kicking around in my noggin include, but are not limited to:

Flipped Classroom with Mastery Learning (middle school/high school)

Harnessing the power of the backchannel during class (middle school/high school)

Websites to provoke classroom discussion (no matter the topic: k-12)

Camtasia for Teachers (screencasting for any occasion: k-12) – you can download this software for a 30-day free trial.
